Protein degradation is fundamental to cell viability,selective elimination of regulatory proteins in the cell is an effective mechanism for regulating vital cell processes.Rapid proteasomal protein degradation is key to activation of repression of many cellular processes,including cell-cycle progression and apoptosis.Bortezomib as a proteasome inhibitor has been approved by FDA for multiple myeloma treatment.This review summarizes current knowledge of the structure and function of the proteasome and its targets.In addition,preclinical findings obtained with Bortezomib are reviewed,and existing clinical data on Bortezomib are presented.

Objective:To identify the expression of plasmid pLNCX-EGFP-C1-hri targeting the gene of Human ribonuclease inhibitor (hri) in PA317 cells which is capable of expression in mammalian cells.Methods: The vector of pLNCX-EGFP-C1-hri was transfected into PA317 cells by Lipofectamine 2000 and then the expression of recombinated plasmid was verified in living cells by observing the transcription level of egfp-hri fusion gene mRNA with RT-PCR method and the expression level of egfp-fusion hRI protein with western blotting method respectively.Results: Both RT-PCR and western blotting showed the egfp-hri fusion gene was obviously expression in PA317 cells.Conclusion: The plasmid of pLNCX-EGFP-C1-hri targeting hRI is successfully constructed and the protein of hRI can be expressed in PA317 cells correctly.

Purpose:To evaluate the effect of biological response modifiers for Ⅲ stage non-small-cell lung cancer.Methods:Fifty-nine patients were randomized into two groups.Twenty-nine patients were put into radiotherapy and chemotherapy(R+C) groups,thirty patients were into Biological response modifiers and radiotherapy chemotherapy(BRMS+R+C) groups.All patients received routine radiotherapy 2.0 Gy per day,5times a week to a total dose of 60-65 Gy,in 42-45 days.Radiation fields just covered clinical tumors.Chemotherapy consisted of cisplatin 25-30 mg/m 2 ,etoposide 50-70 mg/m 2 on days 1?2and 3 every 4 week,for squamous cell carcinoma.For adenocarcinoma,it was mitemycin 4-6 mg/m 2 on day1 and vindesine 3 mg on day1 and8,and cisplatin25-30 mg/m 2 on day1?2 and 3,every 4 weeks interferon-?(IFN-?)and interleukin-2(IL-2)were used in(BRMS+R+C)groups after the second chemotherapy was over. IFN-? was given on days 1?2?3 and IL-2 on days 2?4?6 to a total of forty-eight day.Results:The overall response rate was 51.7% and 76.6% in(R+C) and(BMRS+R+C) groups.The one.two year survival rates were 62.1% 17 3% and 83 3%,43 3% in (R+C) and (BMRS+R+C) groups respectively.Conclusions:The preliminary results from our study has shown that biological response modifiers combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy for non -small cell lung cancer has better early response rate and survival rate.

Objective To investigate the percentage of CD4 + C125 +Tregs in peripheral blood of patients with sepsis and its effect on cell immunity so as to unravel the effect of immunomodulatory therapy on it. Method Fourty patients with sepsis in ICU were randomly (random number) divided into experimental group and control group . The patients of experimental group were treated with Ulinastatin and immunoregulation agent (Thymosin αl) as well. The blood specimens were collected just before treatment, 3 days and 8 days after treatment. The percentages of CD4 + CD25 + Tregs and lymphocyte subsets were detected by using FCM (flow cytometry), and TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 assayed by using ELISA, and APACHE Ⅱ scores were calculated. Results Before treatment, the percentage of CD4 + CD25 + Tregs increased, and the number of lymphocytes and the percentage of T lymphocytes decreased, especially the CD4 + T lymphocytes and CD4+/CD8+ decreased more markedly, and the levels of IL-6 and TNF-α increased. After treatment,the percentage of CD4+ CD25 + Tregs was decreased, the number of lymphocytes and CD4 +/CD8 + increased, and the levels of APACHE Ⅱ score, IL-6 and TNF-α decreased especially in the experimental group decreased more significantly (P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusions The percentage of CD4 + CD25+ Tregs in peripheral blood can reflect the immune status of patients with sepsis and become a novel indicator to estimate the progress of sepsis, and the immunity and prognosis of patients. Treating the patients with Thymosin αl and Ulinastatin can raise their immunity, decrease the levels of IL-6, TNF-α and APACHE Ⅱ score and improve their prognosis.

Objective To investigate the changes of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1)in serum and urine of lupus nephritis(LN)patients in active phase and remission phase.Methods The levels of MCP-1 in serum and urine of 58 LN patients(27 of active phase and 31 of remission phase)were measured by ELISA.The correlation between the levels of MCP-1 in variant phase of LN and other relevant factors were analyzed.Results The MCP-1 levels in sera of both active phase and remission phase of LN patients were markedly higher than those in controls(548.5?347.2 ng/L and 469.1?298.4 ng/L vs 273.3?146.7 ng/L,P0.05).Conclusion The MCP-1 levels in urine of LN patients is more suitable to evaluate the activity of disease as a sensitive marker.

Lung distension belongs to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in modern medicine.In recent years,its disease incidence and mortality have increased year by year.Supported by the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) standardization of the State Administration of TCM project-TCM preventive treatment practice guidelines-prevention of lung distension recrudescence,the first draft of the TCM Preventive Treatment Practice Guideline on Prevention of Lung Distension Recrudescence was formulated on the basis of preventive treatment theory,evidences from both ancient and modern literatures,and through the Delphi method as well as expert consensus conference.And then,peer review comments were collected,which laid the foundation for the further improvement of this guideline.This guideline was aimed to achieve the industry consensus,to improve the quality of life (QoL) in patients of the stable period,to reduce the economic burden of patients,as well as to improve both the theoretical connotation and practical value of preventive treatment in TCM.

Objective To explore the effect of enalapril combined with folate acid on endothelial function and urine microalbumin(UMA) in patients with hypertension.Methods 120 patients with hypertension were randomly divided into two groups:control group (n =60) was given enalapril 10.0mg/d,observation group (n =60) received enalapril 10.0mg + folic acid 0.4mg/d.The total treatment period was 8 weeks.Blood pressure,plasma homocysteine (Hcy),flow mediated dilation (FMD) and UMA were examined.Results The efficacy of pressure releasinghad no significant difference between two groups.Hcy[(10.2 ± 5.8) μmol/L vs (16.6 ±-8.1) μmol/L,t =3.641],FMD[(14.8 ±5.4)％ vs (8.2±3.5)％,t =7.325] and UMA[(14.8 ±5.4)mg/L vs (31.6 ±9.5)mg/L,t =8.221] of two groups were significantly different after treatment.Conclusion Combination therapy of enalapril and folate acid can decrease plasma Hey and UMA,restore vascular endothelium function in patients with hypertension.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of acute lung injury after hepatic ischemia / reperfusion and the protective effect of propofol.Method s Forty-eight male SD rats were randomly divided into Sham2 group,Sham6 group; IR2 group (IR2),IR6 group (IR6); P2 group (P2),P6 group (P6).The 1 mg·kg-1·min-1 propofol was infused from 30min before ischemia in P groups,and the same volume sodium lactate Ringer's solution was infused in Sham and IR groups.The concentration of TNF-α,superoxidedimutase(SOD),malondialdehyde(MDA),myeloperosidase(MPO),lung wet/dry weight ratio and lung histological scores were measured at the points of 2 and 6 hour after reperfusion.Results TNF-α levels were higher in IR and P groups than those in sham groups but the values in P groups were lower than those in IR groups.SOD levels decreased greatly in IR groups,there were great difference between P and IR groups.MDA levels increased greatly in IR groups and reached the peak value at 6 hour after reperfusion.MDA levels in P groups were lower than those in IR groups and there were no difference between P and sham groups.The ratio of Wet/dry levels,MPO and lung histological scores were increased greatly after reperfusion in IR and P groups.But the value in P groups was lower than those in IR groups.Conclusions Acute lung injury after hepatic ischemia / reperfusion is mainly induced by the oxidant stress and neutrophil infiltration in lung tissues.Propofol may have effects of antioxidation and decrease neutrophil infiltration which attenuate lung injury induced by hepatic ischemia/reperfusion.
